Jia Zhen was absolutely terrified of his father, Jia Jing, down to the bone.
Even though he had already taken over the family business, he had never been negligent towards the "Supreme Emperor" above his head.
Firstly, filial piety was the foundation of the current dynasty. Hadn't they seen how the current Saint meticulously served the old Saint?
And families like the Jia family and other nobles, who were the old Saint's confidants, continued to enjoy wealth and honor because of the old Saint's care.
If Jia Zhen rebelled against his own father, tsk tsk, wouldn't that be a death wish?!
Secondly, Jia Zhen was guilty. If he were a capable heir, he could stand tall in front of his own father.
But the problem was, he wasn't. He had turned Ningguo's Mansion into a dark and murky place.
Did others not know about those dirty deeds he had done, or did he not have a count in his own heart?
His own father was the most progressive person in the Jia family, the only Scholar.
